Stetina, looking back at his first Grand Tour. Part 1.

1-11

23-year-old Garmin-Cervelo talent, Peter Stetina, is the only remaining member of Jonathan Vaughters’ original 5280-Subaru development team, which formed in 2003. At that time, Peter was just 16, and even then, it was apparent that there was a future for the wiry climber in the sport.

Eight years on and the talent that was so evident even then, is starting to come good in a big way. Stetina rode and completed his first ever Grand Tour at this May’s Giro d’Italia. He not only made it through what was without question the most difficult Grand Tour in recent memory, but he managed an impressive 22nd place overall.

Stetina’s job wasn’t quite done following the Giro though – he headed over to Fonzaso to spend a couple days with Castelli – spending a full day shooting in the Dolomites for the Summer 2012 catalog, then a second day touring the Castelli facility. We sat down with Peter during that time to take a look back at his three weeks of racing in Italy.

Possibly the fastest bit of clothing ever created for road racing.

Haussler, FarrarA little bit of aerodynamic savings over a long period of time can result in that extra last crucial bit when pushing for the line and glory.

The fastest jersey in the pro peloton, Castelli’s Aero Race jersey has had 5 updates in just 2 years, and we’re confident it’s the fastest jersey in existence. In that time, we’ve also developed and released the BodyPaint short, which eliminates nearly every seam and makes for one of the smoothest and fastest shorts in the peloton. So now, Castelli has the fastest, garmin-cervelo-12most comfortable shorts and the fastest jersey – you would think with all of that speed, we’d have to slow down to take a breath.

The Castelli name has been built on innovation though – so with each new innovation, another one follows, and then another, as we seek to continually push the bar higher and higher on what’s possible in cycling clothing. Our latest innovation is a completely new take on two clothing set ups that we’ve come to believe were separate and limited to their own specific uses: the skinsuit and the jersey/short combo.

Farrar nabs his first Tour de France stage.

farrarAnother fantastic day for the Garmin-Cervelo. Tyler Farrar took the team another step up with yesterdays’s stage win after the team time trial win on Sunday. Garmin-Cervélo played the waiting game and once HTC had lead the race to the final act the Argyle’s with the maillot jaune took over piloting their man Farrar to a perfect stage victory on the 4th of July.

Garmin-Cervélo could hardly have written a better script to the opening days of the Tour de France. With Thor Hushovd in yellow thanks to the victory on Sunday’s team time trial, the Norwegian’s sprinter made the lead-out of Tyler Farrar to take his first TdF stage win.

“It makes it even more special to win today,” Farrar said. “The team was just perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better lead-out and equipment.
